Tomato Pudina Chutney

Tomato And Pudina Chutney Recipe- A No Onion No Garlic Chutney That Goes Well With Idli, Dosa. Vegan. Gluten free. Nut and Soy free.

Tomato Pudina Chutney, an easy and simple chutney made with fresh tomatoes and mint leaves, is a wonderful combination for dosa, idli and aapam. It even pairs well with rotis and i sometimes use it as a spread in a wrap or a sandwich. The flavors are refreshing and it tastes mildly tangy with a hint of sweetness from the tomatoes. This is  a excellent choice on days when we are fasting as it has no onion and garlic. And the brownie point is that this Tomato Pudina Chutney has no coconut. So it stays well for up to a week when refrigerated in an air tight container. So the next time, you make dosas or idlies, give the regular coconut chutney a miss and make this tomato pudina chutney.

2. I recommend using sesame oil in the tempering to take the chutney a notch up.
3. Adjust chilies as per your spice requirements.
